Playing career
Vatsadze started his professional career with FC Dinamo Tbilisi, playing 96 games and scoring 42 goals for the first team between 2005 and 2010, before moving to FC Volga Nizhny Novgorod to play in the Russian Premier League in 2011. While playing in Russia, he was called up for the Georgia national football team, to play in the Euro 2012 qualifying matches against Croatia and Israel, but he was not able to get the required visa. So he soon returned to Georgia to join Dila Gori at the end of the season. On 2 September 2012 he signed a 3½-year contract with Danish Superliga side AGF
Vatsadze was discovered by AGF in the 2012–13 Europa League Second qualifying round where he impressed by scoring three goals for Dila Gori against AGF and went on to score twice in the Third qualifying round away leg in Cyprus against Anorthosis, to help Dila Gori progress to the Play-off round. Vatsadze also scored twice in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League Second qualifying round, helping Dinamo Tbilisi to eliminate Swedish Gefle IF, when they managed to beat them both home and away. He also scored a goal for Dinamo Tbilisi in the 2009–10 UEFA Europa League Third qualifying round, in the away leg against Red Star Belgrade.
